A black-and-white spotted goat stands on a large, sloping slab of dark, weathered rock. The smooth rock surface shows cracks, fissures and signs of erosion. At the top of the formation, dense green scrub and tropical trees grow, some with yellowish autumnal foliage. In the right foreground, a small, sparsely leaved tree with thin branches rises from the rock. Dry grass marks the transition between rock and vegetation. The sky is light blue with thin wisps of cloud. The scene feels tropically dry and is reminiscent of an African landscape. — Hua Hin Nov 13, 2019

A panoramic view from an elevated vantage point over a tropical coastal town, likely Hua Hin in Thailand. In the foreground, lush green vegetation with dense tree canopies stretches out. On a hill to the left, buildings with striking red Asian-style roofs are visible, including a temple-like structure. In the middle, a multi-storey pagoda rises among the trees. Beyond that, the city skyline extends with several high-rises and hotels along a curving bay with a long sandy beach. The calm, turquoise sea reaches to the horizon, where it merges into the slightly hazy, light blue sky. Gentle mountain ranges are faintly visible in the background. A transmission tower and a few construction cranes hint at the region's urban development. — Hua Hin Nov 12, 2019

Several macaques on a dusty asphalt road winding through dense tropical greenery. In the foreground, a long-tailed monkey crosses the road, while another sits at the roadside.

Rocks and stones line the roadside, with some rubbish scattered on the ground. Bright sunlight casts sharp shadows on the pale road surface, suggesting a tropical region in Southeast Asia. — Hua Hin Nov 12, 2019

A brown macaque sits in the fork of a branch amid lush, green tropical vegetation. The animal is in the left third of the frame, holding on with its hands to an upward-reaching branch while it appears to eat or inspect something. Its reddish-brown fur stands out clearly against the dense, deep green canopy that fills the entire background. Sunlight falls through the foliage, creating a play of light and shadow across the various leaf shapes and branches. The scene feels natural and undisturbed, typical of a tropical habitat in Southeast Asia. — Hua Hin Nov 12, 2019

A panoramic view from a wooded hill over a sprawling coastal town in a tropical setting. In the foreground stretches a dense, deep green deciduous forest with scattered rock formations. Beyond lies a broad cityscape with countless low residential buildings, terraced-house estates with red and orange roofs, and several white high-rises and skyscrapers. On the horizon, the calm sea shimmers under a slightly hazy, light blue sky. On the right, mountainous peaks rise from the haze. The scene is reminiscent of a Southeast Asian coastal town, possibly Hua Hin in Thailand, captured in clear weather with soft morning light. — Hua Hin Nov 12, 2019

A panoramic view from a rocky lookout over a sprawling urban and natural landscape in Southeast Asia. In the foreground, a large flat granite slab stretches out, with a small tree growing at its edge. Below spreads a green, densely vegetated plain dotted with countless residential estates with orange and red tiled roofs, modern buildings and the occasional high-rise. In the middle distance, light smoke rises, possibly from slash-and-burn or a fire. In the background, several mountain ranges extend in various shades of blue, fading progressively into the haze of the humid tropical atmosphere. The sky is slightly hazy with a soft blue, typical of tropical regions in the morning hours. The lush vegetation and architecture suggest a location in Thailand, possibly the area around Hua Hin or Pattaya. — Hua Hin Nov 12, 2019

A macaque sits on rocky ground covered with low green plants, gazing off to the right. The animal has grey-brown fur with a lighter chest and a long tail laid out on the ground behind it.

Two wooden stilt houses frame a narrow passage that opens onto the calm, turquoise sea and bright sky. The buildings rest on numerous wooden posts anchored in the sandy beach and shallow water. The structure on the left is multi-storey, with weathered white and brown wooden planks, hanging laundry, blue ropes and lush pink bougainvillea blooming in flower pots. The structure on the right has a gabled roof, railings and tropical palms. Between the buildings, gentle surf washes over the wet sand. The scene evokes a tropical coastal village, likely in Southeast Asia, in clear, slightly hazy daylight. — Hua Hin Nov 11, 2019

A sandy stretch of coast with gentle waves running out onto the pale beach. On the left, the calm, murky green sea extends to the horizon under a slightly hazy, light blue sky. On the right, a colourful Chinese-style temple complex rises on a rocky outcrop, with yellow walls, red trim and decorative elements including large red vase-shaped sculptures. A stone staircase with a metal railing leads up from the beach to the grounds. Large, smooth boulders lie between the beach and the temple wall.
